Curcumin Protects Your Brain

Curcumin promotes the formation of new nerve cells in the brain. Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant that can prevent oxidation processes in the brain.

Curcumin can reverse brain damage

The study entitled “Protective effect of curcumin against chronic alcohol-induced cognitive deficits and neuroinflammation in the adult rat brain” was conducted at Panjab University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and published in April 2013.

In this study, laboratory rats were given ethanol (pure alcohol) for 10 weeks. After that, the functionally impaired behavior of the test animals was observed and various neurological-biochemical aspects were measured. The rats were then given curcumin for a comparable period of time in order to also measure the changes attributable to this therapy.

The result: after the end of the curcumin therapy, all biochemical, molecular, and behavioral changes in the animals that had been caused by chronic alcohol consumption could be reversed.

Curcumin protects the brain

A study by Harvard University in Boston confirms that curcumin promotes the formation of new nerve cells in the brain. Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant that can prevent oxidation processes in the brain. It can also prevent the formation of protein deposits in the brain, which lead to adhesions, and – if they are already present – curcumin can dissolve them.

In the areas where these deposits are located, the nerve signals are interrupted and this leads to a corresponding loss of function (Alzheimer’s disease).

Curcumin’s unique effects on the brain are based on its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is impermeable to many molecules. As a result, it can also protect the nerve cells in the brain against free radicals and many other harmful influences.

Does curcumin help with cancer

The cancer-fighting effect of curcumin, which has been clearly proven in over 3000 studies, has not only convinced researchers of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas – which is considered the bastion of conventional cancer research – is amazing. And the effect of curcumin is not limited to individual types of cancer.

Curcumin can develop its unique effect alongside therapy in almost all types of cancer because it is able to reduce the development of tumor cells, inhibit metastasis formation and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis).

Curcumin – the jack of all trades

A large number of other studies prove the diverse effects of curcumin on a wide variety of diseases. Be it gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, thrombosis, arthrosis, arthritis, immune deficiency, or heart attack.

The list of conditions that respond particularly well to curcumin seems extraordinarily long. But why does curcumin work equally well in so many diseases?

The answer is simple: Curcumin has properties that target the root cause of the disease, and that root cause is the same in many diseases.

If we consider that curcumin has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, immune-boosting, oxygenating, and anti-carcinogenic properties – and this list is far from exhaustive – then it becomes clear that precisely these factors (bacteria, fungi, free radicals, lack of oxygen, immune deficiency, etc.) are causally involved in the development of almost every disease.

This is the explanation for the enormous range of effects of curcumin.

Harness the power of curcumin

Now you can spice up your dishes with a good pinch of turmeric. When buying, pay attention to first-class organic quality so that you can be sure that you will not receive a product that is contaminated with radiation.

In addition to the outstanding health effects of curcumin, you also benefit from its excellent taste and versatility. To get the most out of this wonderful spice, combine it with black pepper. The piperine contains increases the effect of the curcumin many times over.

It is particularly recommended to use additional curcumin capsules, which have a one percent admixture of piperine, as a dietary supplement. They have a high bioavailability, so your body will quickly benefit from this power complex.
